Cheers... just got to nip from Yorkshire to Somerset topick it up now !

It's been a while without one.
I SWORE I wouldn't have another... "That would be going backwards... onwards and upwards" etc...

But here I am again !

it does look a nice car - the guy sounds genuine enough - very keen to chat about the history etc when I called him which is always reassuring.

Whoo Hoo ! Marina Summer !

Are you planning any suitable insanities for it..

V12 Merlin maybe..?

Nice score.

16v for the win!!

Somerset you say... You could always tie it in with the national next weekend! Sorted.

HAHA! @ Kilroy...

Maybe something involving a dump valve ?...

Just lower and wider wheels for now . . .

I'm looking for any alloys that people have and also a chin spoiler... (not yours Ben, sorry)

But i'll start a new thread for wanted parts...

Cheers all...
Rob

I have another type of Marina chin spoiler! It came all the way from America! It's up on the mainland so I shall have to get Sam to take a photo of it.

Hey Ben...

I think we must have been posting at the same time before.
What's the 16v Conversion then ? I've been away a while.

Looking at fitting coil packs and EDIS - doesn't look too difficult at all.

I'd be interested in seeing the spoiler...

I'm collecting the car next weekend actually! If I get chance I will make that detour!

Cheers all...
Rob

PS: I have bought a Marina again for a good reason. I recently bought a VW bug - I'm selling that because everyone I dealt with in that scene were so elitist (sp?) - How can someone who owns a car that was built in the millions act like they own the crown jewels !?

Bung a 16v engine in it! Zetec's fit nicely!

Yeah never really got the whole VW thing... I prefer cars that have a troubled history!

Well... ?

Well.... It's back at JLH at the moment awaiting it's new wiring harness! That's a step forward surely!

so... The guy has pulled out of this sale.

It's a real shame. I was looking forward to looking after this one.
It was the sort of car you could really relish time on.
Spend time polishing rather than repairing.

Absolutely gutted

I could never cut a car like that (The pickup was cut up by the previous owner...) Gutted again. and again... gutted.

Money waiting... literally.
